Terms of use

Last updated: November 15, 2026

What this site is

Nose to the Canvas is a free site and email about famous paintings. It is educational and cultural content, not professional advice. We check facts against the pages of the museums that hold each painting, but mistakes are possible. If you find one, tell us at [email protected].

Images

The paintings shown here are in the public domain. The photographs come from the open-access programs of the museums that hold them. Each image is credited on the image credits page. We do not own these paintings or images.

Videos, narration and music

Narration and music in our videos are generated with artificial intelligence. When a painting is animated, the video says so: the original does not move.

Personal use

You can read and share links to this site freely. Please do not copy our texts and layout to republish them as your own. Short quotes with a link back are fine.

Independence

Nose to the Canvas is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any museum or gallery.
